Gorfy

I've come across errors in reviews of this game too, so i think you're right about people not playing this enough to give it a chance. The warp code, i think, can add a nice element of strategy to the game: do i face the boss as soon as possible while i have all my shields or do i avoid completing the code in order to get another weapons or cloak powerup. Another factor to consider in this decision is the earth shield, which is depleted to a greater extent on a particular level the longer you avoid completing the code & facing the boss. When you got your high score, did you actively pursue the protection of the earth shield by getting to the bosses more quickly or did you just go a long time on your last ship?

new BARNSTORMING score: 33.00

I love this game, too. Why does it have such a bad reputation

WOW How many levels have you played through?

If you would like, I could copy the remaining pages from my manual and mail them to you. I'm keeping the original manual just in case I get my Compumate repaired one of these days.....

I would have been very interested, but the touchpad keyboard on my Compumate fizzed out . This happened only a few months after buying the damn thing, so I'm not likely to buy another one. Anyone know how to fix a touchpad keyboard?

Your really kicking @ss at this game Gorfy! Thanks, man. And congratulations on your new high. I'm using my 2600 joystick via Stelladaptor, along with "X" on the keyboard for activating the cloak device. Seems to be an excellent set-up for this game. I never broke 400,000 using the Proline joystick and actual 7800 hardware (my 7800 broke down recently, forcing me try out the Prosystem emulator scene).

556,350 Defeated the first three bosses, but the fourth, butterfly-shaped one pulverized me.

new Barnstorming score: 33.07 Man, it's getting tough to make improvements at this point

Possibly Henry Cross, who was the screenwriter for the 1964 alien-invasion film with the same title. It's a good, retro-cool flick, by the way.

Great time on Grand Prix! That's gotta be near perfect

My latest high: 475,400 475,500

Sky Jinks: 35.14

That photo is huge. Paste your photos in your paint program and reduce the size (probably to 15% of its size would be good enough). I always edit my photos in Paint even though they are taken on the smallest size my camera offers just because they don't need to be that big to see the score. Thanks, Miss 2600. I'll try it on my "Kodak EasyShare" program.......

Shaved a hair off my time for Grand Prix: 56.92 I'm able to upload this picture file because it's under 2 MB in size. The picture I mentioned in the previous post wouldn't upload because it's 2.5 MB. I don't get the discrepancy between jpg file sizes.

I had the same problem for a while. I have a Sony Cybershot and it has four picture modes: 14M, 10M, 5M and VGA. The VGA mode is the only one on my camera that creates a file small enough to upload on here. If you don't have a VGA mode, then I'm sorry to say I've completely covered my technical expertise on the subject, and this will be no help at all. Thanks, Scrabbler. I don't know of a VGA mode, but I'll consult my camera manual.

Sky Jinks: 35.28 Sorry, but no pic. I don't know what the problem is, but sometimes I'm able to upload a photo and other times I get a message saying error or that my jpg file is too large to upload. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to possibly remedy this

Sky Jinks: 35.76 Grand Prix: 57.34

woops! wrong pic in my previous post. Here's the correct one:

new high: 461,100

improvement on Grand Prix: 1:00.59

Thanks for the link to your Dragster tips, Scrabbler. I've been stuck at 6.27, so I need a new approach. Also, I enjoyed your youtube videos linked in that thread!

improvements on two.... Sky Jinks: 36.08 Dragster: 6.27 I think Sky Jinks would be a lot more fun if we could shoot down those damn hot air balloons. Is anyone else having difficulty attaching photo files on this site, or is it just my junky computer/slow internet connection??
